Evening at the dog park

Three months ago Ma filled out application fur a dog park close to where we all live. It was not expensive and also it was the only park that would allow her to register three dogs since it is me and brofur plus whatever foster sisfur is around. Da park sadly was closed for like forever, although Ma sayz it was just a month and a half because they were planting new grass and then the new grass kept getting ruined or something because of all the rain we have been getting here in St. Louis. 

But finally the park opened and we have been going there almost every evening! I enjoy laying on the grass BOL but Ma forces me to run around!

Ma and Heidi have been walking and running in the dog park because they boths are trying to loose weight. Here is Heidi running towards Ma, she knows her name already and she iz very quick to respond. She like me loves Ma. You can also see brofurs butt BOL in da background!

I hope you all are enjoying your summers!

Love,

My new foster sisfur

Dis is foster sisfur Heidi. Her name used to be Abby but there iz already an Abby on our rescue group and Ma didn't want people to get confused and because she iz german shepherd mix Dad said it was good idea to give her a good german name. Dad has german ancestry and he has a cousin named Heidi :)
Heidi was with her past family for a very long time, she is 7 years old. But her family was struggling a lot with getting food for her and also did not know what they would be able to do care for her if she needed vet care so they asked our group for help and luckily there was space and Ma offered to foster her.

Heidi was confused the first weeks, she paced a lot back and forth, Ma slept on da futon to keep her company, of course I enjoyed dat too because she was out of the bedroom since we dogs are not allowed to sleep in there! ( I know! the horror!). Heidi is doing so much better and she iz getting a lot happier. Da picture is of her getting comfy in da bed of Ma and Dad, she iz not allowed up there but she is quick and sneaks in the room and once up there she gives Ma very sad looking eyes and Ma can't force her to get down.
She iz very well behaved and we iz getting along fine, I like having sisfurs!

Bye!

My dogsitter

Furriends as some of you may know about a month ago I waz very very bad. Against Ma's wishes I was left at Ooman Uncle's house while Ma and Dad went on weekend trip to Chicago. Yah I haz stayed there before and done ok, but I don't likez to be put in crate and I don't care much for petting (I iz from puppymill and only care for Ma or Dad's petting) so Ma did not think it waz good idea to keep sending me to Ooman Uncle's house. Well on Saturday morning Dad gots a call from Uncle saying I haz been super bad, gotten somehow out of my crate, destroyed a door and ripped a carpet! Yah! I did! Uncle was super angry and told Dad I could not stay there anymore! What could my Ma do? She was very upset about what would happen to me because they were so far away. But Ma quickly called Brooke, yah she da nicest dog sitter in da world! I haz stayed wif her before and after I stayed wif her I came a little bit out of my shell and actually went away from Ma fur like 2 min when we went to the dog park. Ma called Brooke that Saturday morning and she actually went to PICK ME UP from Uncle's house!!! and then took me to her house. I had a bootiful time there, Ma got to see me through her webcam  and Ma was happy. Dis weekend Ma and Dad are going away again and without no doubt Ma booked my weekend away wif Brooke. I iz going to Bark in the Park wif her and the other weekend boarding pooches! How fun!!! I iz glad to have a super nice dog sitter and happy dat I get to stay wif her dis weekend.

Dis iz website of dog sitter Brooke, you can go check it out :) Pack Leader Plus. 

Ma graduated finally!

So furriends, I haz been away fur a looooong looong time, you can blame Ma please. She finally finished school, she has PhD now! All of us are so happy, I waz a little sad because that meant she had to go back to her laboratory and work there every day. When she was writing her thesis she waz at home wif me and brofur all day long and it waz soooo nice. For her graduation I gots a nice outfit fur myself too, I wants to be Dr. MoxieDaDoxie BOL

Glad to be back everyone!

Holiday Photo Op and late happy New Year!

Hi all!
Well Ma iz letting me update my bloggy quickly, it has been such a long time since I last had a chance to use the computer. Ma is super busy writing her thesis, she is getting a PhD and after so many years she has too much to write. She tolds me after Thanksgiving dat I would not get much time online. I waz a bit sad because I haz so many good friends on twitter and on my bloggy but I haz to seem understanding and told Ma it was ok.
Anyway it iz a bit late but here iz da Xmas pixi of me and Brofur. Of course you will immediately see that Brofur is all smiles in da pixi, but don't let it fool ya he was really growly and Santa was not happy wif him. And I was not growly but I was not happy either, I decided early on that dis Santa character was not to be trusted and then suddenly Ma plopped me on his lap! The horror! You can tell I was displeased with Ma's decision but I was not growly (like Brofur!) It was our first Xmas pixi and Ma was not too happy with both of our behavior specially since she sayz she had gotten us matching reindeer outfits and all. In Ma's mind the Holiday Photo Op should have gone very differently with me happy on Santas lap and Brofur leaving his costume on. To top it all off when we were leaving Brofur and me got super naughty and were getting Ma tangled in our leashes and at the precise moment Ma was dealing with this out of a car comes a family of two hoomans and two dachshunds, all wearing matching t-shirts all of them looked perfect in every way. At first Ma got a bit sad and thought "Oh No! We iz no perfect family!" but then Ma  realized that we iz no perfect pair or family but there is lots of love and she iz happy that I iz not on a puppymill and Brofur is not abandoned in a shelter. We iz what we iz and that is just fine!
-Happy New Year!
Love Moxie

Brofur and me plan naughty things

I haven't always liked my Brofur, specially when Dad decided to adopt him out of the blue, well Ma was there when he decided but she really didn't have a say in da whole thing, so just like that there was a big big dog in da house. I like big dogs but I hatedz Brofur, I tried to attackz him all the time until Ma and Dad scolded me. I eventually got used to him and now we sometimes hang out, I iz very particular about what doggies I hangz out with but I like my Brofur now and sometimes we are naughty together ;) most of those times it involves food. 

Check out our newest photo story

Snif snif snif there is something yummy close by! Brofur! Brofur come over here and take a look.

Brofur arrived and took a look, he is tall so he can see whats on da table. Oh my Dog! Pumpkin cupcake leftovers! Let's eat!

Oh oh oh, Brofur got caught by Ma!

 (u can't see me cause i hid under da table when Ma was coming BOL)

Ma decided it was ok to give me some since Brofur had already eaten some

Some days like this one brofur's are great companions to do naughty things. I love my brofur Liam!

Thanksgiving Noms

Dis was ma first Thanksgiving ever and my Ma gave me and brofur some mashed potatoes that Dad made :)

This is Ma's hand picking up some mash potatoes

I gots da first bit, I loves it!

Then Brofur got some too, Ma gave him more because he is super big

Then Ma decided it would be fun to put mash potatoes on brofur's snout so he would entertain himself and try eating it! BOL i was barking at him and watching!

But then it was ma turn! Ma put mash potatoes on MY snout too! the horror! such offense! I donts look too happy here.

What iz I supposed to do about this mash potatoes Ma? I donts like eating like this! remove them!

Ma finally helped me clean the mash potatoes from ma snout and I ate them.
Then I got ma turkey shaped treat! She got it at a super nice store named Treats Unleashed 

Nom nom nom!

It was a great 1st Thanksgiving!

Thank you for reading furriends,
